Jon Gosselin and his 22-year-old girlfriend Hailey Glassman have split.

The Berks County dad announced the news in a statement to Entertainment Tonight and Hailey Twittered the news.

"I
have been overly stressed, distraught and angry with everything going
on in my life," Gosselin said in the statement. "It has been overwhelming, and at times I have taken it
all out on Hailey. Hailey says she thinks it's a good idea that we both take some time right now and focus on each of our individual lives."

Jon, who arrived late for a Sunday night seminar about the perils of celebrity with Rabbi to the stars Shmuley Boteach at a New York synagogue, was reportedly encouraged by Boteach to break up with Hailey.

"I
have advised him to end it with Hailey," Boteach, who hosts "Shalom in the Home" on TLC, told the New York Post. "It is
unacceptable to be in a relationship when he is still married and has
to take care of kids who are hurting. It is not a healthy relationship. Jon
will either be remembered as a man who cheats on his wife and is
intoxicated by fame, or a man who has fought to redeem himself."

Glassman went on the TV show The Insider last week and complained that Jon was emotionally abusing her, had been having “mantrums” and was like "Jekyll and Hyde."

Since Jon was a half hour late for the seminar with Botech the admission fee was waived for the small audience. According to Radar Online the hall was only about one-quarter full and about 50 people showed up.

Jon will be remembered as a man who cheated on his wife and was intoxicated by fame AND vanity, and made a half-assed attemt to redeem himself.

Correction: to Cooper (not pat) and all of the other idiots that read about the Gosselins and then make stupid comments about how people should get on with our ''meaningless lives'' or that if you follow the gossip about them we must be ''trailor trash''. HELLO-- What the heck did you just do. Obviously you are a follower and gossiper as well.

I heard Jon is getting together for a reality show with Falcon the Balloon Boy

I like to read about the Gosselins and make smart-a$$ comments because when I read about someone whose life is a little more effed up than mine it makes us feel a little better about myself, temporarily. Same with everyone else. It's human nature. The difference is, I admit it. lol. I do feel bad for the kids. My prediction is in 10 years, Maddie and Cara are dancing at Al's Diamond Cabaret in Reading.

It was all about the money with Hailey. Cry baby thought she was going be a rich biotch and now that money is being watched and controlled she dosen't want him any longer.
I have no respect for Jon walking out on 8 kids. Sorry Jon no pity party for you, you are not a good father if you were you would have stayed and tried to work things out.
And further you were the one that started this whole thing with accusing Kate of cheating. Let the games continue and I hope Kate shines thru this, her heart will heal someday,
